Do you regularly hear the tick of a Geiger counter, even when there are none around? Do you have a strong opinion on brands of hazmat suits? Have you alienated loved ones with your insistence on an easily accessible chemical inventory posted in the kitchen? Despite your obvious relationship issues, there is hope. Now, you can find an outlet for your life's passions, as Chemical Spillage Simulator launches June 14th.

"Double check your hazard suit, because you're part of the Special Chemical Disaster Prevention unit," the scintillating summary proclaims. It announces that you'll soon be "handling some of the most dangerous materials in the world that are both toxic and very deadly! You'll need to seek out these materials using a selection of different tools to combat the spills before they cause any harm to any civilians." If you squint, it almost reads like some new Toxic Avenger game. Then you see the picture of the firetruck, and you're sucked back into a world where the "days since last accident" sign has never reached double digits.

Chemical Spillage Simulator is the latest in Excalibur Publishing's crusade to simulate every aspect of industrial operations. It comes hot on the heels of such classics as Underground Mining Simulator, Garbage Truck Simulator, and the ever-popular Farm Simulator series. As its titles become increasingly minute in scope, one has to wonder how far it'll go to fulfil its mad vision quest to simulate the entire world. Wherever your journey takes you, godspeed Excalibur, godspeed.

OMG this sounds so awesome and exciting I can't wait to get it for christmas and play it :D/sarcasmSorry it's just that it doesn't sound like my thing-probably quit after 20 min's but hey whatever floats your boat who am I to judge what you like have fun playing it ^_^

As a chemistry major, my interests are peaked. I remember chemical spill a speaker from a flavor company told us about. She said they spilled a small box of pure sulfur (its used a preservative in very tiny parts per billion amounts). The smell was so bad they had to evacuate the building.

I played the City Bus Simulator, and it was fairly hardcore. Remembering to put that damn wheelchair ramp down and to avoid crashing into buildings is very hard without one of those Steel Battalion controllers. I played Shenmue, so I already got the forklift simulator down.

Only a matter of time until Nerd 3 does a playthrough to tell us all how horrible it is.

Bridge Project is actually kind of interesting. But be warned it has a HORRIBLE interface, the building can be pretty counter-intuitive (it's easier to reset the entire design that delete certain parts)

It also feels a little overly-simplistic for a "simulator" but it's still pretty entertaining to send 20 tanks over your bridge design to see how it holds. Get it on a good sale, it's bound to happen soon.

Being a simulator, is it completely possible to botch the whole thing in the most ludicrous fashions?Can I actually instigate a chemical spill that could wipe out a whole continent, or worsen a pre-existing one to the point that it could do so?Could I remove my hazard suit and run through a pool of radioactive waste in my underpants?

There's also gonna be a pool cleaning simulator. Which will also have sexy DLC.

Now all we need is some concept art and kickstarter

Yeah and a few stretch goals, how about 50,000 as a starter and if we hit 75,000 you get babes byt he pool, and if we hit 85,000 you can have a bonus level where you fish a dead celebrity out and hide the body?

As others have pointed out, what is the difference between a simulation game and a training simulator? Entertainment value. A Singer flight simulator used by Navy pilots would not have hippos in hot air balloons throwing eggs at your windscreen. How is Chemical Spill Simulator even a game? I'm waiting for the first paper cut simulator that I can use alongside my word processor so I can harken back to my typewriter days.
